Do you see loose, crepey skin when you look in the mirror? Whether caused by the body’s natural aging process or weight loss, loose skin can impact your physique and self-esteem. But, with the help of Renuvion, it’s possible to tighten the skin and achieve a slimmer, more toned appearance. 

What is Renuvion?

Renuvion is a powerful skin tightening treatment that can be used on the lower face and neck, as well as various areas of the body. It can be used alone or added onto liposuction or VaserLipo to prevent loose skin after fat removal. After Renuvion, the skin conforms more closely to the muscles and curves of the body, giving patients greater confidence in their appearance.  (more…)

Are you struggling with signs of aging in the mid-face area? The middle of the face, especially the cheeks or lower eyelids, often develops the most prominent signs of aging. Puffy under-eye bags, uneven skin tone, skin laxity, and jowls are all common concerns in older age. But, with the revolutionary Agnes RF device, you can reduce the appearance of these cosmetic imperfections to regain a youthful appearance. 

What is Agnes RF?

Agnes RF is a radiofrequency device that can be used to achieve stunning cosmetic results without the need for surgery. By administering radiofrequency energy to the skin, Agnes RF can either stimulate the skin’s natural healing process or reduce stubborn fat pockets, depending on the selected setting. This versatile, non-surgical treatment sculpts the face and targets signs of aging to rejuvenate your appearance. Plus, with the inclusion of stem cells, you’ll heal faster and see quick results from Agnes RF.  (more…)

Laser hair removal is a popular and permanent method of hair removal. With laser hair removal, you can say goodbye to unwanted hair growth virtually anywhere on the body, from the arms to the legs to the face and bikini line. 

In laser hair removal, the light energy from the laser targets the pigment of the unwanted hair. The pigment absorbs the light energy, which converts into heat, destroys the hair follicles, and inhibits future hair growth. With this process, unwanted hair is kept away for longer than with other hair removal methods, such as shaving, tweezing, and waxing. (more…)

Shrinking that double chin doesn’t always mean surgery. A simple in-office procedure using radiofrequency (called Agnes RF) can sculpt the face, and deliver firmer, tighter, more youthful-looking skin. AGNES RF stimulates the production of collagen and elastin providing long-lasting and unmatched results and a youthful appearance.  

AGNES RF allows you to go below the surface of the skin to either tighten things or reduce fat pockets under the eyes, on the jowls, or under the chin.  
 
This procedure also contours, and re-shape should you desire a more defined chin or jawline area. If you have stubborn fat tissue in the chin, jowls, and underneath the eyes but don’t want surgery, AGNES RF may be an effective treatment option for you.   (more…)

If you’re noticing signs of sun damage on the skin, you’re not alone. Sun-damaged skin is a common complaint among patients, as the sun’s harsh UV rays are capable of causing discoloration, sun spots, and even premature wrinkles. While it can be frustrating to see sun damage every time you look in the mirror, a non-surgical solution is available to help you achieve clear, rejuvenated skin: CO2 laser resurfacing. 

What is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?

As an ablative treatment, the CO2 laser utilizes light energy to remove the outermost layer of the skin and heat the layer beneath, called the dermis, to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. At Florida Face & Body, we use fractional laser technology, meaning that the laser only targets a fraction of the skin at a time. This allows for excellent precision during CO2 laser treatment, ensuring that the healthy skin surrounding the damaged skin is left alone.  (more…)

Are you struggling with dark under-eye circles? This prevalent cosmetic concern often impacts people in their later years, which contributes to a tired, aging appearance. At Florida Face and Body, we offer multiple treatments to eliminate under-eye circles for a rejuvenated look. 

Understanding Under-Eye Circles

Many people assume that puffy, dark under-eye circles are caused by fluid. This, however, is a misconception. The puffy appearance is caused by fat. Over time, as the skin ages, it loses strength, volume, and structure. This causes it, as well as the muscle and fat beneath the skin, to thin out. This makes orbital fat visible from the surface of the skin, creating the appearance of under-eye circles.  (more…)

Acne is an extremely common skin condition, impacting as many as 50 million people in the United States every year. While acne is the most prevalent among teenagers, it can also remain in your 20s, 30s, and even 40s. So, if over-the-counter acne treatments just aren’t cutting it for your complexion, you may want to consider professional treatment. 

At Florida Face and Body, we offer IPL therapy for acne. This potent treatment is an ideal choice for acne and damaged skin. Non-invasive and precise, IPL therapy can improve the appearance of your skin by eliminating acne. 

What is IPL Therapy?

IIPL stands for intense pulsed light. During IPL therapy, a range of pulsed light wavelengths are administered to the skin with a high-precision device. This method can be used to address many skin concerns, including scarring and hyperpigmentation. For acne, however, it works by eradicating the bacteria and excess sebum that can lead to acne. The pigment cells in the skin absorb IPL energy, which converts into heat. This heat then kills acne-causing bacteria in the pores. (more…)

BOTOX® is a neurotoxin that has long been used to rejuvenate the face. This time-tested injectable treatment reduces facial wrinkles and folds by inhibiting facial muscle activity.

BOTOX® was first developed to help older patients achieve a younger look. But, now, younger patients are opting for preventative Botox treatments to be proactive about their cosmetic goals. 

Preventative BOTOX® To Maintain Smooth Skin 

Repeated muscle activity in the face contributes to the development of wrinkles with age. When the muscles in the face engage, they can produce dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar (forehead) lines.  (more…)

The sun’s UV rays can damage the skin, leading to sunspots, discoloration, dryness, and even premature wrinkles. If sun-damaged skin is holding you back from bright, healthy skin, dermaplaning can help address the damage and rejuvenate your appearance. 

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment. A specially designed, sterile blade is used to remove the outermost layer of the skin consisting of dead, damaged skin cells and peach fuzz. The exfoliating scalpel used in dermaplaning looks much like a razor blade that you would use to remove body hair. (more…)

As an incredible FDA-approved technology, truSculpt iD is the successor of truSculpt 3D. Meant to target stubborn areas that are resistant to fat loss through exercise, truSculpt iD uses focused and localized 15-minute treatments that kill fat cells and tighten loose skin.

How Does truSculpt iD Work?

truSculpt iD delivers deep radiofrequency to a specific part of the body to cause cell death, reducing the number of fat cells in the area. Over the following 12 to 16 weeks, the damaged fat cells will be naturally removed from the body, resulting in a more sleek and toned appearance.

How Does truSculpt iD Tighten Skin?

Most fat cell reduction therapies use cooling technology to freeze and destroy fat cells. However, truSculpt iD uses heat, which allows this technology to offer the additional benefit of skin tightening.

During treatment, patients will feel a warm sensation. Most patients find this to be relaxing. As heat builds up in the skin, that heat provides immediate plumping that fills in fine lines and tightens the skin for a more contoured look.
